Description

This course will examine three major criminal justice related schools of thought (virtue, formalism, and utilitarianism) and emphasizes how ethics impact individual decision-making. We will engage in extensive critical-thinking exercises, explore Police ethics as interpreted in movies, books and television and raise ethical questions to assist students in developing ethical-reasoning skills.
